THUNBERGIA GRANDIFLORA. 
Class. Order. 
DIDYNAMIA ANGIOSPERMIA. 
This beautiful climber is a native of India, 
and has lately been introduced into this 
country ; to the stoves of which it will 
prove a very valuable acquisition. 
Its magnificent flowers are produced in 
abundance, during the greater part of the 
summer season, each flower remaining 
open several days: they have no scent. 
The plant appears to be of free and exube- 
rant growth, and by no means difficult to 
manage. We had one which grew above 
twelve feet in one season. It flourishes in 
rich loamy soil, either in a pot or planted in 
the border of the stove, for which situation 
itis well adapted. It may be propagated 
by cuttings. 
This Genus has been dedicated to the 
celebrated and’ amiable Thunberg, who is 
still living at Upsal at an advanced age.
